She won't be here for long. She will go to school in a few days and live in the house near the school. She will have almost no chance to contact Kang Xiaohua.
Kong Siya originally said that she would go to Kang's house, but because she was busy with work, she did not go that day. When she came back in the evening, she did not know about the fight. Instead, she went to Kang's house the next morning.
Kang's mother is an honest rural woman. She was the marriage arranged for Kang's father by his parents in the countryside. After Kang's father graduated from university and before he started working, his parents were in poor health and had always been taken care of by Kang's mother. So after graduating from university, he listened to his parents, got married, and brought his parents to the city.
In this compound, Kang's father had the lowest family background, but he was capable and his scientific research results had made great contributions to the country in the field of medicine. He could be said to be a leading figure, so the house was allocated to him by the unit. A poor boy who came from a poor mountain village moved into the compound on his own.
Father Kang is a man with a good personality and good looks. When people mention the Kang family in private, they always feel sorry for Father Kang for marrying a wife like Mother Kang.
On the other hand, Kang's father has always been respectful to his wife and has never shown disdain for her.
Kong Siya came over early in the morning and all the Kang family members were there.
Mr. Kang has been in poor health in recent years, and Kong Siya always came to his home to help with the examinations. So Mr. Kang has always liked Kong Siya, and when he saw people coming, he would enthusiastically arrange for them to have dinner at home.
"The steamed buns your aunt makes are unique in our village. Try them."
Kong Siya said she had finished her meal, but she was still polite and took a steamed bun and ate it in small bites while sitting on the sofa, which made Mr. Kang very happy.
Kang Shichang looked helpless, "I'm sorry to embarrass you. My dad has been confused these past few years. He feels bad if he doesn't eat something delicious when he sees someone."
"It's okay. I really like the steamed buns made by my aunt." Kong Siya said with a smile, "I'll ask my aunt to teach me when I have time. I'll also steam some for Wei Zhu's daughter-in-law to try."
"What else is there to learn? I'll ask my mom to steam some more and have Xiaohua send them over." Kang Shichang also mentioned Zhu Weidong's marriage, "When will the wedding be held? Should we wait until Weidong comes back in the winter?"
While the two were talking, Kang Xiaohua finished his meal and sat in the living room, reading a book in his hand while listening to their conversation.
"I want Weidong to come back in the winter. How is your Xiaohua doing at work now?"
"He only knows how to make trouble, he doesn't act like an adult at all." Kang Shichang couldn't help but praise Zhu Weidong when he talked about his son. "When he was young, I thought Weidong was an excellent child. He also has a promising future when he grows up. Now he is an engineer. My son is still teaching students in school. I am really afraid that he will teach his students bad things."
Kong Siya smiled and said, "Xiaohua is very good. He studied the same major as Weidong. He can stay in school to teach students. This shows that he is better than Weidong and can spread knowledge. Weidong is not good at talking and can only work hard."
Kang Shichang said, "Just praise him," but the smile on his face deepened. "What are you doing here?"
Kong Siya glanced at Kang Xiaohua next to her and said, "I came here to talk about the children."
Kang Shichang's face darkened, "Xiaohua is causing trouble again?"
My son has been at odds with Zhu Weidong for years. He has beaten him up at home many times, but it was useless.
"Xiaohua, what's going on?"
Kang Shichang scolded his son without waiting for Kong Siya to say anything.
Kang Xiaohua put down the book and said, "Aunt Kong, I was just joking. Your two sons beat me up, so let's just let it go, right? Why did you come to my house? This isn't a fight between kids."
"Asshole, how can you talk to your Aunt Kong like that?"
"I usually talk like this." Kang Xiaohua looked at his father fearlessly, his eyes indifferent, "Does Dad want to hit me again?"
Kang Shichang's face turned blue and red.
Li Cuilan also came out from the kitchen, "Siya is still here, don't let her laugh at your quarrel."
Kong Siya felt a headache when she saw this scene, but she still had to say, "Xiaohua, auntie doesn't care about you and Weidong and the other four on weekdays. It's just that Ji Ling just entered the Zhu family and came here unfamiliar with the place. Weidong is not around. If she is wronged again, it will be difficult for us to explain this to the girl's family. You are working and a teacher now. Auntie hopes that you can be more mature in what you do and not be too childish."
I have said what needs to be said.
Kong Siya said to Kang Shichang, "It's not a big deal. Weidong's wife just got married, and I can't ignore it. Don't scold the child. Xiaohua is grown up. He understands some things if you talk to him about reason."
He knows nothing.
If you understood, you wouldn't even bully someone's new daughter-in-law.
Kang Shichang was angry, but he couldn't show it. "Siya, I'm sorry about this. When Zhu Chuang comes back, I will come to your house and apologize in person. I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position."
"It's okay. We live in the same courtyard. I came here today. Just don't make trouble."
Kong Siya still had to go to work, so she didn't stay for long and left after saying that.
When Li Cuilan saw the man leave, she quickly advised her son, "Xiaohua, apologize to your father quickly. You will never do this again."
"I did nothing wrong." Kang Xiaohua refused to give in.
Kang Shichang came in from outside and saw this scene. He said with a gloomy face, "Come with me to the study."
Li Cuilan wanted to persuade her, but her son had already stood up and followed her into the study.
The door was closed and no sound could be heard from outside except for a crisp slap. Li Cuilan pursed her lips and stood there not daring to move.
In the kitchen, the old couple of the Kang family walked out, followed by a little girl in her twenties, who was the youngest daughter of the Kang family, Kang Lili.
She pouted, "Mom, clear the table. You can't control my dad. What's the point of standing there?"
Old Man Kang said, "Talk to your mother nicely."
Kang Lili remained silent.
Li Cuilan's face turned pale and she went into the kitchen.
Mrs. Kang said, "Your mother has a soft temper. She used to look at her father's face, but now she looks at her children's faces. You are a girl, so you must feel sorry for your mother."
"No one bullies her, but she always acts like she's being bullied." Kang Lili just couldn't get enough of her mother's petty behavior.
As a result, whenever she went out, she could always hear people talking about her behind her back.
"Your mother has been without parents since she was a child. She grew up with her brother and sister-in-law, so she naturally had to learn to read other people's faces. This is her fault and she can't change it. You, as children, must understand this." Old Man Kang glanced at his granddaughter and said, "A son will not despise his mother's ugliness, and a dog will not despise his family's poverty. You despise your own mother, and you will be the one who embarrasses yourself when you go out."
Kang Lili didn't dare to say a word after being scolded.
At this time, Kang Xiaohua came out of the study, half of his face was swollen. He glanced coldly at his family, turned around and walked out of the house.
As for this grudge, guess what it is. This is how I write books. There are some things I feel I need to explain. I don’t want to write a diary, and it’s not for the sake of being watery. And there’s no need to be watery. I don’t make money by the number of words.
